2歲兒童嘴唇紅腫凸起的藥物治療

對於2歲兒童嘴唇紅腫凸起的情況,應使用白色軟石蠟軟膏(白凡士林)每2小時塗抹於嘴唇,以提供保護和舒適感。 1

可能的診斷考量

  • 嘴唇紅腫凸起可能是口腔潰瘍、血管瘤或過敏反應的表現 1, 2
  • 應評估是否有全身性症狀,如呼吸困難、皮疹或其他過敏反應跡象 3
  • 若有急性腫脹伴隨發炎症狀,可能是淋巴結炎、牙源性感染或膿腫 4

藥物治療選擇

輕度症狀治療

  • 白色軟石蠟軟膏(白凡士林)每2小時塗抹於嘴唇,提供保護和舒適感 1
  • 溫和鹽水清洗口腔,可使用浸泡在溫鹽水中的紗布輕輕清潔受影響區域 1
  • 對於疼痛,可使用口服對乙酰氨基酚(acetaminophen)緩解不適 1

中度症狀治療

  • 小劑量2.5%利多卡因軟膏可謹慎塗抹於潰瘍處,但須避免意外攝入 1
  • 對於可接觸的病變,可考慮使用少量外用類固醇 1
  • 若為口腔潰瘍,可使用黏膜保護劑幫助保護潰瘍免受進一步刺激 1

嚴重症狀治療

  • 若症狀嚴重或有過敏反應跡象,應考慮使用抗組胺藥物治療輕微症狀(如少量蕁麻疹、輕度不適) 3
  • 對於嚴重症狀(如廣泛蕁麻疹、呼吸急促、呼吸道症狀、舌頭和/或嘴唇阻塞性腫脹干擾呼吸、循環症狀),應使用腎上腺素自動注射器 3
  • 若懷疑是血管瘤,可能需要轉診專科醫師評估是否需要使用口服普萘洛爾(propranolol)治療 3

特殊情況處理

若懷疑是血管瘤

  • 口服普萘洛爾是需要全身性治療的嬰幼兒血管瘤的一線藥物,劑量為每日2-3 mg/kg 3
  • 外用噻嗎洛爾(timolol maleate)可用於治療薄和/或淺表性嬰幼兒血管瘤 3
  • 若普萘洛爾有禁忌症或反應不足,可使用口服潑尼松龍(prednisolone)或潑尼松(prednisone)治療 3

若懷疑是過敏反應

  • 避免接觸可能的過敏原是治療食物過敏的首要方法 3
  • 對於輕微症狀(如少量蕁麻疹、輕度不適),可使用抗組胺藥物 3
  • 對於嚴重症狀,應使用腎上腺素,可每5至15分鐘給藥一次,直到症狀緩解 3

注意事項與常見陷阱

  • 避免過度使用局部麻醉劑,以防意外攝入和潛在毒性 1
  • 石油基產品(如凡士林)有被幼兒意外口服的風險 1
  • 除非絕對必要,否則應避免對簡單口腔潰瘍使用全身性類固醇 1
  • 抗組胺藥不應替代腎上腺素用於治療嚴重過敏反應 3

餵食考量

  • 確保嬰幼兒充分水分攝入,因為疼痛的潰瘍可能導致寶寶拒絕飲水 1
  • 若潰瘍在嘴唇上,護理照顧是輔助治療的重要部分 1
